Sr Advanced Systems Engineer
About The Position
Honeywell Aerospace is seeking a Senior Advanced Systems Engineer for its Radar Altimeters engineering group within the Communication, Navigation, Surveillance (CNS) organization. The group develops and supports radar altimeter products for commercial and military applications across the product life cycle, from customer concepts and proposals through development, verification, production, and obsolescence refreshes. Depending on program scope and timeline, engineers may take on both systems and discipline-specific design and development work. The role calls for working with considerable independence, learning new areas quickly, providing some guidance to less experienced team members, and advising engineering and business leadership. Work includes developing requirements and system architectures, conducting trade studies, designing and validating hardware and systems, creating program documentation, supporting production devices, contributing to proposals and cost estimates, and investigating issues. Travel within the U.S. and/or internationally may be required, estimated at 10%.
Requirements
- Bachelor's degree in Electrical, Systems, or Aerospace Engineering.
- 10 or more years of aerospace-related work experience.
- Experience with prototyping, trade studies, and hardware cost modeling.
- Understanding of RF-based systems, designs, architectures, and related challenges.
- Must meet the stated U.S. citizenship status requirement due to program and export control regulations.
- Ability to obtain a security clearance.
Nice To Haves
- Aerospace exposure and experience.
- Exposure to electrical design tools and processes, including electronic hardware electrical design and packaging processes.
- Experience with Xpedition for schematic capture and circuit board layout.
- Experience with analysis tools such as Matlab and SPICE variants.
- Experience with TeamCenter PDM.
- Experience designing electronic hardware for MIL-810F and DO-160G environments.
- Experience with EMI/EMC requirements under MIL-STD-461 or DO-160, including conducted and radiated emissions and susceptibility.
- Familiarity with electronics and RF disciplines.
- Knowledge of aircraft avionics and their use in commercial and military aircraft.
- Understanding of current FAA requirements, the TSO process, and MOPS content related to radar altimeters and their development and formal certification.
- Prior working exposure to DO-254 and DO-178.
- Self-motivated and able to work with little supervision while taking initiative.
- Able to multitask and manage a variety of complicated tasks.
- Able to drive activity execution and report appropriate status to stakeholders.
- Excellent leadership, interpersonal, and communication skills.
- Able to engage and influence others in change initiatives, explain complex problems simply, and work across functional boundaries.
- Able to cope with change and ambiguity, make decisions with limited data, and manage risk and uncertainty.
- Action-oriented, energetic, and willing to act on the best available information and seize opportunities.
Responsibilities
- Support existing programs and, as skills and familiarity develop, operate independently on tasks and programs.
- Develop requirements and system architectures and perform trade studies.
- Design to meet requirements, depending on the applicable discipline.
- Test and validate designs during prototyping and for formal compliance, including on benches, at off-site test facilities, and through flight testing with Honeywell and customers.
- Draft program artifacts such as systems requirement documents, test procedures and reports, and white papers.
- Support devices in production.
- Participate in proposals and cost estimation.
- Support other team members where needed.
- Perform root cause and corrective action (RCCA) on issues arising during development and production.
- Monitor industry standards and trends and translate them into actionable activities for teams, programs, and products.
- Provide expert recommendations to engineering and business leadership concerning pursuits, developments, product roadmaps, and strategies.
Benefits
- Employer-subsidized medical, dental, vision, and life insurance.
- Short-term and long-term disability coverage.
